Peņalosa
unfazed
by bigger opponent
Negrense boxer Gerry Peņalosa, a former world champion, didn't mind moving a weight class higher just to get another world title shot.
So it came as no surprise when he also declared that he can "out-smart and defeat" World Boxing Organization bantamweight champion Daniel Ponce De Leon when they clash in a March 17 (Sunday in the Philippines) title fight in Las Vegas. De Leon will defend his title against Peņalosa in a 12-round duel underneath the Marco Antonio Barrera-Juan Manuel Marquez card, dubbed "Fearless".
In the press conference organized by Golden Boy Promotions
in Los Angeles recently, Peņalosa said he is motivated to carry the
title back to the Philippines.
